I'm not privy to the number of Linux installations and I don't think anyone really is, but I would guess a hell of a lot of people have already come. Both Fedora and Ubuntu use Wayland by default. I don't know about the Ubuntu derivatives. Mint is trying to get it working but for me a Cinnamon/Wayland 'experimental' session didn't last long. GNOME 50 will be X11 free. I'm still on Ubuntu 25.10 so it's 40.9 although Mutter is using Wayland. I'll wait for 26.04.1.
